 The Cubs have scored first in five of their six games this season -- only the Braves (six) have scored first in more games. They have outscored their opponents by 10 runs in the first three innings, 11-1; that's the third-best differential in MLB behind only the Twins (+14) and Indians (+11).

 The Pirates are hitting .171 on the season, lowest in MLB, after notching just one hit in their most recent game against the Brewers. That .171 average is the team's second lowest through six games in the modern era, behind only 2013 (.119).

 The last time the Cubs and Pirates met at Wrigley Field, Chicago outscored Pittsburgh, 47-15, in a three-game series. Those 47 runs are the most the Cubs have put up in any three-game series in the modern era.

 Colin Moran is the only Pirate with multiple home runs this season (three). With his first of two home runs in Pittsburgh's home opener against Milwaukee, Moran became the first Pirate in franchise history to homer in three consecutive home openers.

 Former NL MVP Kris Bryant is batting .091 this season, third lowest in the National League (minimum 20 plate appearances) behind Nick Ahmed (.083) and former NL MVP Christian Yelich (.037).

 Cubs relievers have posted a 9.64 ERA and a .592 opponent slugging percentage; both numbers are the worst in MLB. They walked 15 batters in their series against Cincinnati, and the bullpen's 2.04 WHIP is the highest in baseball.

HP - Livensparger, 1B - Welke, 2B - Hoberg, 3B - De Jesus

The Chicago Cubs will look to build upon their fast start when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday evening in the second installment of a three-game series at Wrigley Field.
At 5-2, Chicago sits atop the National League Central division with more than 10 percent of the abbreviated season complete. The Cubs are coming off a 6-3 win over the Pirates in the series opener on Friday night.
